  4. Is there some way to search for MD HQ within a patient’s chart for a specific lab? For example, search bar and typing in a keyword like organics bring up all the general organics tests for patient or provider instead of looking under documents and labs. This feature would expedite reviewing old labs to see patterns over time. Would you be able to request such a feature?

Chris Kresser:  That’s a really good idea. I would love to see something like that. I think that would become easier when there is a direct connection between MD HQ and many of these labs. I don’t know if we’ve talked about this, but MD HQ is working with Genova and Doctor’s Data and a lot of these labs so that the lab results will be automatically uploaded into MD HQ without any intervention on our part. I, for one, am really looking forward to that and that opens up a lot of other possibilities in terms of search and then even how that data can be maybe mapped out or plotted over time. That’s something that we’re working with Ben on. So, wouldn’t it be cool if you could see at a glance, you could see a chart showing the patient’s fasting glucose levels over a six-month period or any other lab markers and how they’ve changed over that period of time? So there’s a lot of growth there. And MD HQ is, I think, awesome and the best option. But there’s still a lot of room for improvement and one of the reasons I’ve chosen MD HQ is that Ben has shown himself to be and his team have shown themselves to be really responsive to feedback and interested in growing and evolving the platform.
